@Don - thanks, I won't snap. And I'll do my best to not be rigid as you say, and be more like water.
Next comment is not directed to those here, its an awareness thing:There is a whiff of "suck it up buttercup" or "be happy Gambit is in something" - the mentality being, if you are a Gambit only fan too bad. That Gambit fans are horrible fans because they don't like anything and complain all the time. Which leads to further assumptions that its the Gambit's fans fault for whatever reasons, book ending or not getting an ongoing (you know thats coming, right?) and why? For not embracing something they didn't like, despite their favorite being included in a book. The Gambit fan should just spend the money and shut up. It's a depressing thing when you think about it.
Again above comment is not directed to those here. This pairing is polarizing at best. Either you love them or hate them, those in the middle don't care.
In the end, I think a different approach from the one used might have been better, I dunno, I have no clue where or what the writer was thinking or plans on taking the pairing. All I know is what is in print is not what I wanted to see, and I know, its on me.
